MINT NOTES xxxvil
Jahangir struck at Ahmadnagar in gold and silver. The only mohar known is I. M. Cat., No. 585, and on this the mint-name is
spelt Ahmadanagar. The word is a little uncertain, on this coin, but Mr. Nelson Wright has an unpublished rupee of Jahanglr containing a new couplet, which was undoubtedly struck at Ahmadanagar. As regards this form of the name, comparison can be made with the place-name Muhammadanagar, which was the capital of a sarkar in the Province of Haidarabad. There is a very rare rupee of the year 1036 in the Indian Museum.
The early Kalima-Ilahi type of Shah Jahan's silver currency is very rare, but the later c square areas ; type rupees are sometimes met with. No gold or copper pieces of this emperor have been found.
Coins No. 1561 and 1562 are the only known rupees of Aurangzeb's first year, but from the twenty-eighth year, rupees began to issue more freely from Ahmadnagar. I possess a nisar of the year 1118. Aurangzeb is represented in gold in the British Museum Collection.
Kupees are known of Shah 'Alam I, Jahandar, and Farrukhsiyar, while A'zam Shah struck at Ahmadnagar in both gold and silver. On all these coins the mint-name is at the top.
Copper coins of both Shah 'Alain I and Farmkhsiyar were in the White King Cabinet. After the latter reign this mint disappears from the Mughal list.

The city of Udaipur was founded by Banblr, Bana of Mewar, in A.D. 1559. Coin No. 123 bears witness to the victorious invasion of Mewar by Akbar in A. B. 1576. This was quickly followed by the defeat and expulsion of the Mughal forces, but in the time of Jaljangir, Mewar was again subjugated. The only other Mughal coins beside the rare gold piece of Akbar, are one or two copper coins of Jalmnglr and Shah Jahan.
